Just caught up with the Jumbo question.
They were sold originally with fixed sights and a choice of grips, the most common and cheapest being chequered flat grips, followed by the more expensive shaped smooth walnut grips as on the Lux, however there was a really, really expensive option which only seems to have been given out to selected dealers, where the grips were carved with German style oakleaf carving, I had a fixed sight version with these grips and sold it before realising how rare they were.
Later versions of the pistol were available with either fixed or adjustable sights but were sold with a weaker spring (pentagon F marked) for the German market but were upgraded with a stronger spring for the UK. So its worth running these pistols through a crono to check the power level.
All the Best Malc.

These are on my "always wanted one" list!
I've never handled one but I'd have thought given the size of the things that even with a stronger spring they'd struggle to get anywhere near the German F in pentagon limit of (IIRC) 7.5 joules, about 5.5 ft.lbs!

Oh gawd you were right loads more wobbly stuff on pistols, perhaps they should have their own wobbly section so as not to clutter up the real pistol section. ;) :roll: :lol:

Record have made some quite distinctive pistols over the years, as well as "standard" styles.

The one I had always shot high, seemed to be a problem with breech alignment I replaced the breech seal, but no difference I could detect no wear in the breech, the barrel aligned to the forward part of the breech, but on lock up pointed slightly high always I suspect a manufacturing fault as the pistol was a minter otherwise?, M. :?

I have seen some recent examples described as "excellent German engineering".

To be honest they are cheap and cheerful, no doubt being popular due to their, at the time, unique space age looks.

Nice to own as an example of a gun with quirky looks, but certainly not a high class shooter.

Kind regards,
